1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Treatment inequities persist among marginalized youth who experience anxiety and trauma-related disorders. Culturally adapted interventions show potential for improving outcomes for marginalized youth. However, it is unclear the extent to which they improve engagement and can be successfully implemented in practice settings. This systematic review characterizes adaptations to anxiety treatments and their effectiveness for treatment engagement, clinical, and implementation outcomes. Twelve articles met inclusion criteria. Adaptations most frequently altered treatment procedures, language, or content, and least frequently altered treatment approach or goals based on cultural conceptualizations of mental health. Most adaptations targeted racially or ethnically minoritized youth and did not target intersectionality. Adapted treatments were overall effective in reducing anxious distress, yet rigorous study designs were lacking. Engagement outcomes for adapted treatments were inconsistent, and implementation outcomes (e.g., feasibility, acceptability, fidelity) were rarely assessed. The current literature is promising yet inconclusive about the benefits of adapted treatments over standard protocols.
